Slated for completion in the fall of 2002, Riverstone Boulevard intersects Highway 6 between Dulles Avenue and University Boulevard (Murphy Road/FM 1092), and will connect Highway 6 and University Boulevard. University Boulevard will access U.S. 59 at the site of the new University of Houston satellite campus in Sugar Land.

In April, Riverstone will celebrate its grand opening, unveiling four model homes by Ashton Woods Homes, Coventry Homes, Emerald Homes and Trendmaker Homes, as well as a custom section featuring the designs of Bayou Bend Homes, Sterling Classics, Steve Fuqua Homes and Westport Homes. The community is well underway, with many homes slated for completion at the end of March.

Accessible to Houston's Central Business District, the Galleria and other major employment corridors, Riverstone will offer over 250 acres of lakes and devote over 500 acres to open space, park lands and recreational facilities, with two miles of frontage along the Brazos River. Amenities will include recreation complexes and 24 miles of pedestrian walkways and trails.

Designed for over 5,000 homes and 16,000 residents, Riverstone will be a mixed-use master-planned community with single-family homes, townhomes and patio homes priced from the $200s to over $3 million, says general manager Tom Wilcox.

"Future development is planned for 50 acres of commercial property on Highway 6 and additional sites on University Boulevard and Riverstone Boulevard," says Wilcox.

Residents are served by three Exemplary-rated schools, including Elkins High School. Two Fort Bend ISD elementary schools are planned for the development.

Phase I of Riverstone is now underway and includes:

The Terrace features 70-foot by 120-foot homesites, with homes by Ashton Woods and Coventry Homes.

The Pointe, which features 80-foot by 130-foot homesites, including a number of lakefront properties, will offer homes by Emerald Homes and Trendmaker Homes.

The Reserve features 90-foot by 140-foot homesites and offers custom homes by Bayou Bend Homes, Sterling Classics, Steve Fuqua Homes and Westport Homes. The custom homes, many on lakefront homesites, are built within a gated enclave with private streets. Jim Hudnall is the custom sales director.
